******* New Music Book Releases ******

* Simply Duets - New from Maureen Sellers. The next book in the "Simply" series is a wonderful addition to any music book library. This book contains melody and harmony arrangements to most of the 39 songs in the book, along with some call and response songs and chord backup information. 

In Maureen's own words; "This book was written to- 

Showcase some pretty songs, Allow two or more players to work on a piece together, Expose players to chords in different areas of the fretboard, Teach players to flatpick the single string whether it be a melody or bass string, Encourage duet style playing by including some songs with harmonies, and Learn to cheat off the guitar player."
